I honestly don't know how the food stamp program works so please educate me. It was my understanding that they don't actually give you food. They give you some type of credit with which to buy food. If that's the case, why would this family have hundreds of dollars of food they didn't need? Why not just buy the amount of food they needed, whether that used up all their credit or not?
